‘Alder’s Blood’ Fully Funded, Devs Release Kickstarter Demo In Response

Published

on

Shockwork Games’ turn-based strategy game Alder’s Blood has reached its goal on Kickstarter (having turned to the service at the beginning of the month). In celebration for those who contributed towards the game (which you can still do, if you wish), the devs have released a free demo of the game.

It’s not just limited to backers, either: Anyone can download the demo from either the game’s itch.io page, or on Indie DB. The demo won’t be around for long, so get downloading.

“You all are amazing! I don’t know if I can ever thank you enough,” exclaims Lead Developer Michał Bernat. “It was a long journey for the whole team, very often a difficult one. But right now we can all agree that it was totally worth it. Everything is starting to come together and it’s just breathtaking (pun intended). Thank you all again and see you on the hunt!”

Right now, Shockwork is looking to their stretch goals of releasing the game on Playstation 4 and Xbox One, as well as adding even more content to the game. Alder’s Blood is still scheduled to land on PC and the Nintendo Switch in 2020.

Dark Fantasy Roguelike Shooter ‘Necromantic’ Launching in Early Access on May 22nd [Trailer]

For those of you who think you’ve gotten your fill of Vampire Survivors, developer Blinkmoon Games has a little something for you later this month with Necromantic. The gothic bullet heaven (or hell?) roguelite will launch into Early Access on PC via Steam on May 22nd.

Necromantic places you as a first-year Valorborn Academy student. Kathedril, the territory that Valorborn Academy sits above, is home to a never-ending graveyard of fun. By “fun”, that means endless hordes of the undead and other monstrosities. Alongside your studies during the day, you must mow down hordes of monsters at night.

You’ll got a rich assortment of over 40 different weapons and abilities at your disposal as you carve your way through waves of monsters across a variety of maps. After you’ve made dust of your foes, you’ll work to gain infamy by studying, going to class, and completing assignments to upgrade and master your skills.

Of course, you could always choose to skip out on your monster-slaying duties and stay out at night to impress the cool kids. But do so at your own risk.

The Early Access period for Necromantic will last approximately five months, where Blinkmoon aims to “constantly [be] evaluating the appetite for our game, and the features we can add for our community.”
